Lot Information
Lot 1
Forestry and Land Scotland (FLS) has awarded a contract for the supply of commercial stone to support urgent road upgrade works at the Kilmun and Ardentinny forest blocks in Cowal. These upgrades were essential to facilitate the safe and timely removal of windblown timber, ensuring its commercial viability within a limited operational window.
Procurement Information
This direct award has been made under Regulation 33(4)(c) of The Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015, which permits direct awards for supplies quoted and purchased on a commodity market. The product in question is a primary commodity. In this case, the procurement related to urgent road upgrade works at Kilmun and Ardentinny forest blocks, required to facilitate the removal of windblown timber within a limited operational window. Delays would have compromised the commercial viability of the timber. No FLS stone was available on site, and sourcing commercial stone was the only viable option to proceed immediately. Running this procurement via a regulated open tender would have introduced significant delays. To ensure value for money, a competitive element was introduced by obtaining three quotes from market suppliers.
